American Oystercatcher

Found this Oystercatcher at the Texas City dike a few weeks ago. He was strutting his stuff while walking towards me. Took the shot while handholding my new 500mm lens out the car window on my first weekend outing with it. Made a good first impression…the bird and the lens.

Thanks Sheldon. Shooting at F4 depends on the distance away and the size of the subject. It’s a very narrow depth of field at short ranges. I’m shooting at higher F stops than typical from the 100-400.

Welcome

Wecome to my blog. My goal is to share some of my favorite photos including the details behind the shots with a few tips along the way. I'm an early riser so you will see lots of early morning wildlife photos. The golden light in the morning can be magic and for me it's all about the light.
